A STORY FROM HEIDI TO OUR ONLINE STITCHNG GROUP

I have made very many things for the holidays over the years. I will share a couple of them over the coming days. One thing I remember was stitching a Christmas mouse for my mother and father when I had just moved over to Europe. I sat alone in a little apartment in Brussels, Belgium during the day awaiting Jos getting home from work. I was afraid to venture out much farther than the tiny supermarket just two blocks up from us. I spent the day stitching away on this adorable mouse carrying holly if I remember correctly. In those days, there was no email and I used to write home to them a little each day and then mail the letter at the end of the week. Do you have the mouse out this year mother? Maybe you can share a photo of it as I don’t have

This little mouse is so pretty and has a look of Heidi about her - a little shy but inquisitive enough to eventually venture out to find out what's happening in the outside world :>)It's so lovely having such a special memento especially as it has such wonderful memories to go with it.Hugs, Angela

Are you and Heidi doing a duo-job with this blog-entry? It looks lovely, this little mouse. Seems you are a lady who treasures memories and keeps them with you over the years. How big is your attick by the way....LOL.It is nice to have so many good memories!
